Hi Jason, nice review, some info for your readers about this watch.. I have a similar watch that is not an anniversary issue, I bought mine in a small watch shop in Nanjing East Rd. in 1990, in fact at the time i bought 3, kept one myself and gave the other two away. Mine is still used occasionally keeps excellent time, the only down side is that mine has a date, but no hacking, so have to rotate the hands to set the date, so I try to use it monthly and pick up at that date left off the previous month. When i bought mine such watches were sold without the strap, no box, the shop had a sample in the window and yours was supplied from a box containing maybe 20 watches all wrapped in brown paper. At that time I paid RMB 70 per watch. The other down side is the reserve is very small and it worn they need winding daily or they'll stop. A fun watch that always gets looked and and talked about.
1990 probably was about the time China was starting to develop. I went to China as a school boy in 1995/6 for a trip and they already had modern malls (without customers). Yes, I've seen the older, vintage Shanghai Watches sell for much less. Not only because they are much older stuff, I guess they had to price the watch to their masses then. China has changed so much since then.
We sure have quite similar taste in watches. Some of the watches of yours I also on my list of purchases. I taking a look on some China brand watches too. As different countries watches each.
Lovely watch and great video! I'll be getting mine within the next few days. How many times do you have to wind the crown to wind the watch up completely? Is there a resistance after some winding or how will I know it's fully wound?
Very nice looking watch, Shghai make appealing vintage style watches. It's unfortunate that the website you mention is in Chinese, if you know any other reliable webste that sells these, I'd be interested.
I hardly wear it and cannot comment on reliability. WR is not stated but it comes on a leather strap, and no screw down crown so I would say it is only good for handwashing.
@@beyond36horologyNice unboxing. One week after receiving my Shanghai watch from AliExpress, it is keeping accurate time. I also have a Lorus sports Lumibrite watch. It has a screw-on case back like this Shanghai watch, no screw-down crown and with a stated water resistance of 100m.

Hello. Do you have a SOTC video I could watch to see how similar our tastes are?
Lovely watch and great video! I'll be getting mine within the next few days. How many times do you have to wind the crown to wind the watch up completely? Is there a resistance after some winding or how will I know it's fully wound?
Yes there is a stop in these movement.
Just wind it normally and once you feel a resistance, you stop.
Do they sell them locally in Singapore brother?
Also do you have a link?
It's not sold locally. Can you email me so I can send you the link? jason-watches at outlook dot com.

Actually really like this watch. How has the reliability been? Also does it have any water resistance?
I hardly wear it and cannot comment on reliability. WR is not stated but it comes on a leather strap, and no screw down crown so I would say it is only good for handwashing.
